They say you never forget your first love. And that's definitely true for all these classic '90s movie couples. To be perfectly honest, the entire cast of Empire Records could have been on this list. Because whether the romances ended badly or "happily ever after," we'll never stop shipping these '90s movie couples. Not even when our VHS tapes wear out and the TBS reruns stop.

Jack And Rose, "Titanic"

What else is there to say except iconic? The love story in Titanic lasts forever because SHE NEVER LET GO, YOU GUYS. She never fucking let go. Theories about the buoyancy of a large wooden door aside, the pure romance between these two will endure through anyone's lifetime.

Leeloo And Korben,"The 5th Element"

One of the weirdest romance stories ever told, the love between Leeloo the 5th Element and her protector Korben Dallas is one for the ages. Bruce Willis with that bleached hair, Milla in that diaphanous body stocking...iconic. We'll be seeing these lovers being cosplayed until the end of time.

Edward And Kim, "Edward Scissorhands"

Regardless of how we all feel about where Tim Burton has gone since 1990, there's no denying the perfection of the sweetly terrifying tragedy of Edward Scissorhands. The contrast between the normalized Kim and the thoroughly abnormal Edward results in one of the most touching and human love stories of all time. Plus there's simply no denying those topiaries are EPIC.

Holly And John McClane, "Die Harder"

Although the original "Die Hard" doesn't quite make the cut as a '90s movie, in "Die Harder" (best sequel name ever, y/y?) their love is back and just as strong as ever. Do you think John is going to let Holly die in that airplane? No way, motherfucker.

Aladdin And Jasmine, "Aladdin"

These two aren't just the undisputed hottest Disney couple, they also have the most chemistry. They actually get to know each other, despite their various guises, and their love for each other is a confirmation of their individual independence. Sure, Disney isn't the best place to go for your POC representation, but there's still something to be said for watching characters who aren't white fall legitimately in love.

Quincy And Monica, "Love And Basketball"

Not many great love stories are also great basketball stories, but shockingly "Love And Basketball" has both! I would watch these two play a game of one on one anytime, knawhatimean? And if my calculations are correct, it should be just about time for their daughter to get drafted into the WNBA this year.

Edward And Vivian, "Pretty Woman"

Okay, the politics of it might not hold up. But there is something spectacular that still resonates in the way Edward is able to change his perspective see Vivian as an entire person after spending most of his life seeing women as consumable objects. Does it make sense? Maybe not. But as a fantasy, it's perfection.

Megan And Graham, "But I'm A Cheerleader"

Queer women in the '90s didn't have many chances to see their lives and desires reflected on-screen, especially in ways that didn't end in a horrible, gruesome death for at least one person. Enter Clea DuVall, lesbian all-star! These two young ladies discovering their forbidden love leave an impression on both the heart and the loins.

Memphis And Sara, "Gone In 60 Seconds"

Yes, there are blond psuedo-dreds involved, and yes, Nicolas Cage's real love in the movie is a Shelby. But before there was the Fast and the Furious family, there was Cage and Jolie smoking up the screen with their undeniable chemistry. If a fast car didn't make you think about fucking before, this movie inextricably links the two.

Winston And Stella, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"

Maybe one of the hottest couples of all time? Certainly Jack and Rose have some legit competition. I'm not sure if my favorite part is Taye Diggs's arm, his firm but soft grip, or his thumb ring. Winston and Stella made us believe that anything is possible, and dreams do actually come true, especially when you're hot as hell.

Timon And Pumba, "The Lion King"

Let's be real: this is where the true romance in The Lion King is. They coparent, dance together, and really make a house a home, you know? With Pumba's classic bear look and Timon as an obvious power bottom, this couple is unstoppable. Hakuna Matata indeed.

Kat And Patrick, "10 Things I Hate About You"

Heath Ledger was one of those magically charismatic people. From the moment he came out singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in that opulent Seattle stadium, it was clear he was born to be a star. And that smile! I melt. The romance between Patrick and the prickly Kat works because they both realize that they have to put work in and make emotional sacrifices in order to be a good partner. So mature!

Gia And Linda,

Okay, sure, it ends with a tragic descent into fatal drug abuse. But the love between Gia and Linda is real, and watching two supermodels fucking is not something that any sane human is gonna turn down. Yeah, you know it's doomed from the start, but there's no way you're gonna look away.

Cher And Josh, "Clueless"

Who could ever forget the moment when Cher realizes "I love Josh!" and the fountain comes on? I mean, that is iconic. Between his sweet older man vibes and her blithe altruism, they're a match made in Beverly Hills heaven. Do you think Marky Mark came to the wedding?

Casper And Kat,

The chemistry between these two kids, my god! I literally did have dreams about this. But so Casper is given a corporeal form by his angel mom just so he can kiss a girl? And then he goes back to being a wacky immortal child ghost? That's fucking tragedy right there.

Denise And Kenny, "Can't Hardly Wait"

Oh, is there something relatable about a sassy chubby girl with short hair reconnecting with the adorably dumb boy she used to be best friends with? That's ridiculous. Wait, no it's not, at least for anyone who ever convinced themselves that butterfly clips alone made a hairstyle. Anyway, they lose their virginity on the floor of a bathroom, and it's cold, and it's perfect.

Peter And Sarah,

Look, I still don't fully understand how this works. These kids grow up, spend 20 years being adults, then they beat Jumanji and...end up 12 years old again? Now THAT sounds psychologically traumatizing. But it's okay because they have each other! And after spending 20 more years growing up, they save their friends' lives. Romance!

Romeo And Juliet, "Romeo + Juliet"

Forever star-crossed, forever young and beautiful. The movie that launched the success of just one very big ship, this is the defining Shakespeare adaptation of the '90s. Danes's Juliet is the epitome of doe-eyed innocence, and DiCaprio probably can't even think of growing a terrible goatee yet. Sure, it ends in horrifying violence, but then so did my prom.

AJ And Corey,

AJ makes cool art, has perfectly floppy hair, and a sweater that goes down over his wrists. Corey is a high-strung, irrational speed freak who probably doesn't deserve this beautiful man-god but figures out a way to get him anyway. And lord, isn't that every crazy woman's dream?
